ARTICLE I – RECOGNITION

North Central Charter Essential School (NCCES) and the Board of Trustees (hereinafter “The Board”) recognizes the North Central Charter Essential School’s Collaborative Bargaining Team as the exclusive bargaining agent and representative for all staff.  Specifically excluded from this agreement are the Executive Director, the School Nurse, and the Business Manager whose contracts are negotiated with the Board.

The terms of this agreement will be in effect until June 30, 2010 or until a new or revised agreement is reached.

Collaborative Bargaining Policies:

The process for arriving at the agreement is described in the Collaborative Bargaining Policies approved by the NCCES Board of Trustees on January 9, 2007.

One of the school’s goals is to attract, train, and retain excellent staff.  In addition, a successful school requires strong relationships and clear communication among the entire team of adults dedicated to helping students learn and achieve.  This proposal establishes structures and procedures for employee-management collaboration around issues of compensation, benefits, and work expectations.  

A. General Approach

ARTICLE III - PROVISIONS FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR & CALENDAR

A.       Instructional Staff – to include teachers, counselors, librarians:

The work year shall consist of 186 workdays to include 180 teaching days and 6 Professional Development Days as set by NCCES.  Nine (9) of these days will be worked without pay to be deducted from annual salary at the daily rate detailed in Article VII. Sixteen (16) hours of the nine days without pay will be considered professional development time and may be worked at home.

Annual contracts for staff covered by this Agreement shall be issued by June 1^st.

Prior to finalizing the school calendar, NCCES will provide the Collaborative Bargaining Team with the opportunity to have input.

NCCES and the Collaborative Bargaining Team agree that the overall traditional recesses in the school year shall be maintained, unless it becomes necessary to delete or shorten the recess(es) in order to meet the 180-day requirement. This management decision will be made in conjunction with staff input.

Newly hired members of the instructional staff will work an additional three (3) orientation days prior to the start of the school year. 

B. Support staff – to include office staff, custodial staff, and food service staff:

Notice of non-renewal of an hourly staff position shall be issued by April 1^st. Due to budgetary constraints reductions in force may become necessary after this date according to Human Resource Policy # P4109.1.

 Annual contracts for employees covered by this Agreement shall be issued by June ^1st. Contracts

shall include, but not be limited to (a) expected hours of employment; (b) rate of pay; (c) and a

company job description.

Reduction in total annual hours shall not be made by the Executive Director for any employee covered by the Agreement during the contract year, except by mutual agreement of the employee and NCCES.

The Initial contract for a new employee shall be subject to hours as determined by the Executive Director or authorized designee.

An example calculation is as follows:

$40,000 annual salary / 260 contract days = $153.85/per day * 9 days = $1,384.65. $40,000 – 1,384.65 = $38,615.35 for a new base salary to be paid as indicated above.

ARTICLE V – WORKING CONDITIONS

A. General Conditions

Although the principle responsibility of teachers is to teach, guidance counselors to counsel, and other recognized groups to function within their area of certification or expertise, all members of the staff contribute individually and collectively to the successful operation of school and the education of the students therein.

1                    In assigning students to classes, the administration shall make every effort to work with staff to determine appropriate class sizes relative to educational, safety and financial considerations.

2                    Instructional staff members accept responsibility for effectively communicating with parents and students at times convenient to same. If a mutual time cannot be established, the Executive Director shall set a time contiguous with the school day. 

3                    The Executive Director or designee will determine class assignments in which a member of the instructional staff will teach within his or her certification and in conformance with state law or regulation. Every effort will be made to assign staff members to teach in not more than two (2) areas of certification. If it is necessary, under extenuating circumstances, the Executive Director may assign a member of the instructional staff to teach in more than two (2) areas of which the member is certified.

4                    In all matters relating to teacher work load, teacher assignment, distribution and balances of class sizes, non-teaching duties, after school meetings, and similar matters, every reasonable administrative effort shall be made to see that fair, impartial, and equitable treatment and consideration is given to each such circumstances.

5                    Every effort will be made to inform teachers of their teaching assignments by the close of the current school year for the next school year.

6                    The parties agree to work together to provide for the orderly and safe operation of the school. Teachers shall maintain visibility in corridors and make regular visits to student lavatories to prevent infractions of school rules.

7                    Members of the instructional staff accept responsibility for classroom order and management and agree to follow school wide protocols for classroom and hallway management. In the event that individual student behavior becomes disruptive to the education of others in the class, instructional staff members shall receive administrative support.

 

B. Equitable Staffing Amongst Departments

The administration will make every attempt to make the teaching loads equitable between departments. This will be accomplished by taking into consideration the following:

                  The number of teachers assigned to the department in relation to the number of courses taught in the department.

                  The number of Title I and special educators assigned to the department

                  The number of different preps (within and across Divisions)

                  The number of students in the teaching load (with consideration for small group instruction for students with significant skill deficits)

                  Program needs

 

C. Teaching Assignments

1.   A teacher who provides direct service instruction for the equivalent of a minimum of five out of six periods for a full academic year or its equivalent shall be considered a full time teacher, unless mutually agreed to be different. Reduced loads for new teachers can be made as appropriate. The school’s goal remains teaching loads of no more than 80 students.  Teaching loads shall not exceed 90 students.

The Standard Teaching Load at NCCES will follow the scenarios below:

A. • 5 periods • Advisory or targeted instruction • no more than 2 CPs*

B. • 4 Periods • 3 CPs* • Advisory

1                    Teachers shall have daily free period during which they will have no assigned duties, except for one block day per week when all blocks are meeting.

2                    When teachers are absent, the administration will make every reasonable effort to secure a substitute. If a substitute is not available teachers may be asked to cover a class during their preparation period. This is voluntary.  If a teacher agrees to cover a class, they will be compensated for their missed free time $25.00 per free period and $40.00 per prep during block period.

3                    Teachers shall have no lunch duty. A Sub Committee of the 2008-2009 CBA has been formed to determine best solution for non-teacher led lunch duty.  

4                    Teachers will serve one block of before or after school duty.

                  2.         A teacher who enters or leaves the employment of NCCES during the school year will have a pro-rated salary calculation as follows:

                  a.         If a contract is terminated by either the teacher or the Executive Director before the end of the school year, the salary earned shall be determined by the annual contracted salary divided by the number of contract days in the school year, multiplied by the number of days taught.

                  b.         If a contract is entered into after the start of the school year, the salary to be paid is determined by the annual contracted salary divided by the number of contract days in the school year, multiplied by the number of days left to teach.

2                    The Executive Director may, when hiring new teachers, negotiate variations in the placement on the salary schedule. Salary Requirements are requested from prospective candidates at the beginning of the hiring process.  

                  4.         School leaders take the following approach to making hiring decisions that bring and retain the most qualified people to the school: 

                  School and student need

                  Budget

                  Equity within dept or broader faculty

                  Individual requirements of candidate 

3                    The Executive Director may, after showing due cause, withhold the salary step increments of a teacher. Upon receipt of an unsatisfactory evaluation, a teacher’s step and column placement on the salary schedule shall be frozen and remain frozen until a satisfactory evaluation has been achieved. Notice of an unsatisfactory evaluation shall be provided to the teacher by January 1, and at that time, an action plan shall be jointly developed by the teacher and administrator to help that teacher receive a satisfactory evaluation by the end of the school year.

4                    A teacher who takes an approved unpaid leave under the terms of this Agreement shall be entitled to move to the next salary step provided that he/she has taught ninety-one (91) or more days during the year in which the leave has been taken.

                  b.         A change requested and documented by February 28^th will be effective the 13^th pay period of the school year. This will result in a contract year payment of 50% of the former annual salary and 50% of the increased annual salary.

                  i.          Only graduate courses offered by an accredited college or university may be considered for category change.

                  ii.         Support staff must complete timesheets and obtain supervisor’s approval before submitting for payroll processing.  Any deviation from normal working hours must be approved in advance by the employee’s supervisor, the Principal or the Executive Director.

                  iii. Benefits

6                    An employee or a family member must notify NCCES immediately of a divorce, legal separation or a child losing dependent status under the terms of the plans. The details of this coverage are set forth in the plan documents.  You should review those documents for further information.

 

ARTICLE VII – SALARY SCHEDULE FOR INSTRUCTIONAL STAFF

At the beginning of the 2009-10 fiscal year all faculty salaries will follow a one step progression using the attached salary schedule.  If a faculty member teaches less than 90 days in the academic year they will not be eligible for a step increase unless previously negotiated.

The above salaries do not reflect the 9 days of work without pay.  That calculation is as follows:

Example: (B1-Bachelor, Step 1) $36,765 annual salary / 186 contract days = $197.66/per day * 9 days = $1,778.95. This amount will be subtracted from the annual salary for a new base salary of $34,986.05. This new base salary will then be paid in 24 installments the 15^th and the last day of each month.

For new teachers, salary will be divided by 189 contract days to reflect the 3 additional professional development days, which occur in August during New Teacher Orientation.
